An adviser to the administration said: "People aren't sure whether McChrystal is being naïve or an upstart. To my mind he doesn't seem ready for this Washington hard-ball and is just speaking his mind too plainly."
Imagine that .... an officer responsible for the very lives of thousands of troops in theatre, speaking plainly.
Protein Wisdom has more:
He went on to say: “Waiting does not prolong a favorable outcome. This effort will not remain winnable indefinitely, and nor will public support.”
Now, you would think that at this level, and the fact that McChrystal just sent a detailed report to Obama, there would be nothing the general said that the White House doesn't already know.
And if the president's advisors think that McChrystal is naive, they better just hid in the bushes and watch.
For my money, this fuck-stick the '52' elected president better put his learning cap on and, like, learn.
